urlbar autofill does not work
well I dont know why but a part of the autofill feature does not work. url suggestions from history are shown in the dropdown, as well as other tabs or history, but I cannot search for suggestions and it also doesnt autocomplete what I am typing. being on Firefox 45.0.2 but had this problem for quite a while.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

- If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
- Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing the problem.
well the issue seems to be instantfox, but at the same time it's not possible, because I iirc do use instantfox on other machines with no problems.
